[ERNST & YOUNG LLP LETTERHEAD]

                        Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors
Huntington Bancshares Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of the 
Huntington Bancshares Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan and Trust for 
Huntington Bancshares Incorporated Directors (the "Plan") as of December 31, 
1995 and 1994, and the related statements of income and changes in plan equity 
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.  These 
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on 
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence 
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit 
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant 
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial 
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis 
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the financial position of the Huntington Bancshares 
Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan and Trust for Huntington Bancshares 
Incorporated Directors at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its 
operations and the changes in its plan equity for each of the three years in 
the period ended December 31, 1995,  in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             December 31, 1995



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Huntington Bancshares Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan and Trust for 
Huntington Bancshares Incorporated Directors (the "Plan") was adopted by the 
Board of Directors of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated ("Huntington") on 
April 25, 1991, to be effective on that date.  

The Plan is in the form of a trust agreement between Huntington and its 
wholly-owned subsidiary, The Huntington Trust Company, National Association 
(the "Trustee").  The Plan was adopted to provide any Director of Huntington 
with the option to defer receipt of all or a portion of the compensation 
payable to him or her for services as a Director.  Huntington transfers the 
amount of the compensation deferred by a Director pursuant to the Plan to a 
trust fund administered by the Trustee.

Amounts held in the trust fund may be invested by the Trustee in common stock, 
common trust funds, real estate, and other property which the Trustee deems to 
be in the best interest of the participating Directors.  The Trustee maintains 
a separate account for each Director which reflects such Director's share of 
assets held in his or her account in the Plan.

The Plan is administered by a committee of the Huntington Board of Directors 
(the "Committee") consisting of not less than three members.  As of the date 
hereof, the members of the Committee are John B. Gerlach, Timothy P. Smucker,  
George A. Skestos, and Don Conrad.  The members of the Committee are appointed 
by the Board of Directors of Huntington (the "Board") and serve until they 
resign or until they are removed with or without cause by the Board.  None of 
the members of the Committee receives compensation from the assets of the Plan.

Distributions are made either in a lump sum or in equal annual installments 
over a period of not more than ten years.  The Committee has sole discretion to 
distribute all or a portion of a Director's account in the event such Director 
requests a hardship distribution.

Huntington may amend or terminate the Plan at any time provided that no such 
amendment or termination will affect the rights of Directors to amounts 
previously credited to their accounts.  

                                       6

INVESTMENTS

As of December 31, 1995, Plan assets were primarily invested in shares of 
common stock of Huntington ("Common Stock").  These shares are carried at 
market value as determined by quoted prices reported by the National 
Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System.  The cost of 
specific investments sold is used to compute realized gains and losses.

WITHDRAWALS

Withdrawals in the form of Common Stock are reported at market value. Amounts 
previously reported for 1994 and 1993 have been changed to conform with the 
1995 presentation.

INCOME AND EXPENSES

Cash dividends are recognized as of the record date.  All costs and expenses 
incurred in administering the Plan, including brokerage commissions and fees 
incurred in connection with the purchase of securities, are paid by Huntington 
and participating affiliates. Expenses incurred in administering the Plan 
totaled $4,326, $3,860, and $3,405 for 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

NOTE 2 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Plan is established as an unfunded deferred compensation plan under the 
Internal Revenue Code.  Accordingly, a Director will not incur federal income 
tax liability when compensation is deferred pursuant to the Plan, when Common 
Stock is purchased for a Director's account, or when dividends are paid to a 
Director's account on such shares.  Rather, a Director will incur federal 
income tax liability for such contributions and income only when distributions 
are made to a Director.  

Huntington is subject to any federal income taxes arising from taxable income 
of the Plan.  Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is included in 
the financial statements of the Plan. If, at any time, it is determined that 
compensation deferred pursuant to the Plan is currently subject to income tax 
by the Directors or their beneficiaries, the Plan shall terminate and any 
amounts held in the trust fund shall be distributed to the Directors or their 
beneficiaries.

The Plan is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code 
and is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income 
Security Act of 1974.
